A profissionalização das atletas jogadoras de futebol no Brasil: análise de casos reais de jogadoras nordestinas que demonstram ilegalidades contratuais à ordem trabalhista nas relações empregatícias que envolvem a categoria

Abstract

The present academic study aims to analyze the current irregularities found between the labor relations of athletes who play soccer with their employing clubs. There is no doubt that the social situation in the labor landscape has improved, and has improved a lot, since the 19th century, when feminist movements began to organize effectively. However, the epic of female conquests, in contrast to what occurs today in this context, is riddled with oscillations between good and bad times, going back to many centuries before contemporary times. This reflection is clearly seen in the structure of current women's football, which is a sport in which the practitioners still have many difficulties in professionalizing the category, especially in the northeast of Brazil. However, women who fight for the professionalization of this modality only want to exercise their profession under the same conditions as male athletes, remain firm in their purpose, sometimes invisible to the eyes of the general public, sometimes compared to men. Currently, in 2020, professional players still need to circumvent a lot, from the lack of structure and investment in the sport to prejudice. The idea is to highlight the difficulties experienced by these athletes, whether due to the lack of investment that causes obscure employment contracts or the prejudice of society, in the light of women's rights in Brazil and the history of Labor Law.
